Unfortunately, the quality of service has declined, and it now feels as though anyone regardless of training or skill level is allowed to provide massages. Today, I arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment but wasn't seen until 15 minutes after my scheduled time. I ended up leaving the treatment room just 12 minutes into the session. The service was completely unskilled: rushed, inconsistent, lacking rhythm, and missing the foundational techniques that define a competent, professional massage therapist. A skilled therapist uses intentional pressure, consistent/proper flow, and an understanding of muscle anatomy to create a therapeutic and cohesive experience none of which were present. Realizing the session was doing more harm than good, I made the decision to end it and leave. The front desk staff clearly knew something had gone wrong, as my early departure was obviously due to dissatisfaction. Yet I was still charged $139. Not only is that unreasonable, but deeply unprofessional. When I called for clarification, I was met with a scripted cancellation-policy explanation given by the same employee who witnessed me ending the service early and leaving the studio upset. Only after pressing for details was I told I'd need to speak with a manager. The entire interaction was dismissive, confusing, and frankly, insulting. This visit brought frustration instead of the relaxation this business is supposed to offer. And for anyone who believes the service I received, particularly from Pam, is acceptable, I can assure you they have not experienced a true massage from a trained, skilled professional.

After I waited for an hour or so to be squeezed in (VERY WORTH THE WAIT),I was seen by Dr. McGinty. He was very attentive, knowledgable and I didn't feel rushed. He actually listened to me and gave his recommendation on what specialist would be best for me going forward. I was given referrals and prescriptions and scheduled to return in the near future. This is one small professional and friendly office. I'm very pleased with this experience and I'd highly recommend MIMC. P.S.

From seeing acupuncture on TV, I was expecting to have like 50 pins put in my back and then left to sleep. A typical experience is maybe 8-10 different pins, some in and out points, some that are left to sit for awhile. Tessler is great to talk to and she stays with her clients the whole session. Each treatment is tailored to what I'm dealing with that week, so each time it's a little different. She doesn't like to leave her clients in that zombie, groggy feeling (I always feel this way after massages), and I appreciate that I always leave feeling more relaxed but I can still do things after treatment. Tessler's Dupont location is super convenient to my office and she has evening and Saturday hours. She only sees one patient at a time, and the office is small but cozy. Best of all, she takes insurance. If you are thinking about trying out acupuncture and want a very personalized approach, Tessler is awesome.

    OK, REWIND! Unwind Wellness has won me and my partner over…read more We really haven't stopped daydreaming about our experience ever since and are looking forward to our next spa date. We had such a pleasant encounter with the receptionist, Nicole, from the moment we walked in and were placed with 2 masseuses who were top-tier and gifted with the art of touch. Our couples massage was beyond rejuvenating and serene for each of us and we were truly able to decompress (and leave a lot of muscle knots behind on the table)! We both left feeling SO much lighter, connected within our bodies and to each other, and grateful we accepted the offer to give Unwind another chance. I am so impressed with the level of intention and care that the owner, Antonio, has displayed in making sure that we were in the absolute best hands the second time around. He was very apologetic that we had an off day on our first visit and really turned things a total 180. It's evident that he is passionate about his business, is extremely detail-oriented (the decor is GORGEOUS!), and has strived to exceed the 5-star reputation his establishment deserves. In a world where self-care tends to be an afterthought or a treat, I'm feeling inspired to carve out time to visit Unwind Wellness on a regular basis. I'm so glad I found the right match (and might have to gatekeep my masseuse's name because she is THAT good)!

If you're looking for massage therapists who actually do real work, this is the place. I've seen both Helen and Heajin, and they are exceptional in different but complementary ways. Helen is incredible for deep tissue, especially hip work. She goes deep, she's effective, and she is not afraid to work through tension. This is not a light, spa-style massage. It's therapeutic, intentional, and results-driven. Exactly what I want. Heajin specializes in Thai and lymphatic massage, and she is phenomenal. Thai massage is more like assisted stretching, and she incorporates it beautifully. She also took time to explain lymphatic flow, gave me tips on how to support it at home, and clearly cares about long-term wellbeing, not just the session itself. One thing to note: at Unwind, therapists may get on the table with you, especially for Thai or deep tissue work. That's part of the technique and something to be aware of if you're new to that style, but for me it speaks to how seriously they take proper body mechanics and effectiveness. The space is calm, professional, and welcoming, and the level of skill here is outstanding. If you want thoughtful, strong, therapeutic massage from practitioners who really know the body, I highly recommend Unwind.

David has a unique ability to listen to you thoroughly during the first part of a treatment when you explain what is going on in your life. Then he magically hones in on what's really happening in your life and develops an effective treatment plan right on the spot. Somehow he works miracles. I can walk into his office feeling horrible, anxious, stressed and out of sorts. When I walk out I almost always feel like a new person being much more relaxed and at peace. I have had bi-polar depression all my life and his treatments have been indispensable in helping me to effectively manage this illness which can be so overwhelming at times. It's really comforting to know that if I am not feeling well I can always get a treatment with David and it somehow it brings me back to life. I can't recommend David highly enough. He has been a life saver for me.

I would wake up in the mornings with newly swollen joints. I had a hard time walking in the mornings because so many parts of my body were in pain - my feet, knees, back at one point, fingers (could no longer make a fist or open jars or hold a dumbbell), my wrists, my elbows. I would hobble in to the bathroom and take a hot shower, which helped a bit. Western medicine had no answers for me - no clear diagnosis and no clear treatment although the rheumatologist I saw tried to persuade me to do steroids and cortisone shots (after declaring that I looked like an athlete in great shape with nothing wrong with me even as I was showing him fingers that were swollen). I wasn't down for either because I was clear that neither was a cure. I remembered a naturopath I had seen maybe five or six years prior who ordered several blood tests, and after careful review, told me that I had strong markers for rheumatoid arthritis. Both my primary care physician and Dr. Amen proceeded with my treatment as if it were rheumatoid arthritis. The only official diagnosis I got was that it was an auto-immune polyarthritic condition. I learned later that auto immune conditions present differently, which might have been part of the difficulty in diagnosing. Also, by the time I saw the rheumatologist, I had already begun working with Dr. Amen. I was skeptical with Dr. Amen at first (somewhat frustrated by the initial cost of the visit), but he convinced me to stick with it, explaining that the work he does isn't like Western medicine or a pill that works right away. Plus, he said that we could effectively eliminate all or almost all of my symptoms. I was persuaded, and over my time with them, I've made a lot of choices that have helped me achieve that goal of actual healing. I sometimes have a few pains here and there (almost all in my feet and all of which disappear after a few weeks as I keep working with Wisdom Path), and I can't wear heels anymore, but I am fully mobile and don't experience the multiple joint inflammation through which I suffered when I first started with them. I also work out regularly and became vegan. Wisdom Healing Path aided in that transition with the cooking classes that Na'Amana leads. I knew how to cook, but I needed more options. That was key in my shift to veganism. It's been about five to six years that I've been vegan. I cheated the first few years but after several strange responses to eating animal products, the last straw of which was styes and cholazeans on my eyes, I accepted that animals aren't good for me to consume. All of the work I've done with Wisdom Healing Path has fixed or significantly diminished several physical ailments I was suffering, in addition to the rheumatoid arthritis - a persistent pain in my side, eczema, hot flashes, IBS, migraine headaches, and eventually the cholazeans on my eyes. I highly recommend Wisdom Path Healing Center. On one of my early visits, Dr. Amen said something to me to the effect of, "We can cure this. If you get rid of more than 95% of symptoms, I don't know what a cure is." In my time with him, we have gotten rid of probably 99% of the arthritis and 100% of the migraines, side pains, IBS, and eczema. I now see the cost as an investment in myself. It's worth it. My only image of rheumatoid arthritis was a cousin who was wheelchair bound for all of her adult life since her early 20s. I wasn't prepared for that, so I was happy to work with them and to see significant changes in a relatively short period of time. It's a family business, and so I have watched the children grow, and all of the adults know me and my life. It's the best healthcare I receive.

She took the time to understand my unique needs, lifestyle, and challenges, and developed a personalized plan that was both effective and sustainable. Her knowledge of fitness, nutrition, and overall health is unparalleled. She didn't just provide me with workouts and meal plans--she educated me on why certain exercises and foods were beneficial, which made the entire process empowering. Every time I sat to discuss my goals and progress with her it was incredibly motivating, and she always know how to push me just enough to help me grow without feeling overwhelmed. What sets Lindsey apart is her genuine care and positivity. She fully understands the body-mind connection, and helped me to achieve my goals, physically and mentally. I feel stronger, healthier, and more energized than ever. If you're looking for a coach who will truly invest in your success and make the journey enjoyable, look no further than Lindsey.

She is so knowledgeable about health, mind, body, and spirit…read more She is passionate, informed, supportive, and inspirational, and a great accountability buddy. The approach that she takes is a holistic one that doesn't just focus on the number on the scale. She understands that long-term changes require changes in physical habits and also a shift in mindset. The tools that she gave me allowed me to examine my relationship with food and nutrition and to also make a game plan to make healthier choices and habits to take place of habits that were no longer serving me. Her methods helped me to shift my views about fitness and nutrition away from just weight loss and inspired me to seek movement that felt right for my body. Another thing that I really appreciated is Lindsey's approach to nutrition. She showed me that I didn't have to stick to restrictive methods like counting calories. I found that after a few days of making sure that I was getting enough fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and protein, it was a positive feedback loop that helped me to keep making better choices because I felt so good. Lindsey understands that everyone has different needs to be successful on their health and fitness journey. I think that she is truly passionate about making the lives of her clients healthier and happier through nutritional education, physical health, and finding habits that are aligned with the life that they want to live.
